Student Housing

To better enhance each student's residential experience, all class levels are housed separately. This delineation is meant to promote community development within the same class standing to better meet the academic and social needs of each group. Besides living amongst peers, Residential Life and Student Activities provide community events to bridge classroom learning to residential living. This enables students to establish meaningful relationships with their peers while engaging in large or small group activities.
